Che Publishers' Weekly.

FOUNDED BY F. LEYPOLDT.

DECEMBER 28, 1889.

The editor does not hold himself responsible for the views expressed in contributed articles or communications.

All matter, whether for the reading-matter columns or our advertising pages, should reach this office not later than Wednesday noon, to insure insertion in the same week's issue

In case of business changes, notification or card should be immediately sent to this office for entry under "Business Notes." New catalogues issued will also be mentioned when forwarded.

Publishers are requested to furnish title-page proofs and advance information of books forthcoming, both for entry in the lists and for descriptive mention. An early copy of each book published should be forwarded, to insure correctness in the final entry.

Some of

IN endeavoring as usual to complete within the year 1889 the record of books actually published or imported in editions into this country, we find that a good many of our friends have failed during the year to send us titles which now come pouring in upon us at the last moment in response to our final inquiry. They are, to be sure, largely odds and ends of books of the less important sort, of which not large editions were published or imported. While these are not those most often called for in bookstores, they are nevertheless the hardest to find when called for, so that the publisher should in his own interest endeavor to have such books promptly recorded. the English houses have been specially remiss in this respect, and it is of just such books that the bookseller has so much difficulty in finding trace. When such titles are sent us by the dozen at the very end of the year, it is most difficult to have them properly entered, and still more, properly carried into our yearly indexes and into our "Annual Catalogue" within the few days left to us. For the sake of the publishers concerned, of the bookselling trade, and if we may also add, of this office, we trust that our friends through 1890 will take every pains possible to keep us promptly and fully informed of their issues each week. Our records show more and more books, and our machinery for obtaining information and making record becomes more perfect-yet there is still margin for greater perfection. It is our pride to present the most complete bibliographical system in the world, but we cannot maintain

and perfect that reputation without the assistance of every member of the publishing trade.

WITH the new year we shall be sending out to our publishing friends a similar appeal to them to give us any information that may be lacking for the new volume of the "American Catalogue," which has now been in process of editing for some months, although the period which it covers will not be concluded until the middle of next year. We have kept at this office, from the date of the last catalogue, a careful record arranged by publishers of all books recorded; and to those publishers who are willing to give us the name of some one person in their house who will be responsible for the return of this list with any gaps filled, we are proposing to send their part of the list for verification. We mention the matter now because what we have said already as to our annual list is still more important in regard to this final entry in the "American Catalogue.”

the

It is not easy to tell how the year has turned out in the book trade until the Christmas rush is over, as for the time being the retail stores and the retail branches of the publishing houses are crowded with customers and everything seems to be booming. So far as can be indicated now, year has been neither a particularly bad one nor a particularly good one, in all kinds of business and in the specialty of book trade. There have been rather more than the usual number of failures and much business demoralization; on the other hand, the volume of business has been fairly large, though the profits have been small. It will be interesting to see how the accounts foot up after the yearly stock-taking which comes in most cases with January 1.

This

THE other day a friend happened in to ask what books to buy for his boy. We gave him such suggestions in the way of titles as we could, and then he said, I am going over to Philadelphia to-morrow, and I suppose the best thing I can do is to go into Wanamaker's and buy there." incident shows how widespread is the demoralization caused by underselling at specific points. The books upon which he decided were proba bly not in stock there, for they were standard books of permanent value such as the "department" bookstores do not usually keep on hand, but which they are ready to "order from the publisher." In the rush of Christmas selling and buying, however, the seller has not time to do this nor the buyer time to wait, the consequence being that the customer does not buy, or falls back on one of the "drives" of the year. At an uptown bookseller's, who has failed more than once, we learn of books nominally priced at $1 being sold

as low as 25 cents, and in other cases the drygoods houses offer books at a lower price than the regular trade buy them at wholesale. The key to the situation, we again submit, is in making the prices real instead of nominal, so that this enormous seeming discrepancy shall no longer be advertised to the detriment of the regular trade. Combinations and coercions fail to reach the evil, because all such shifts put the public on the wrong side. It would be a good thing for the trade if the new year of 1890 could see a return to better methods which should give the undersellers less of a chance than that of which they have been making the most during the last few years.

IN further evidence of the liberality of the pubishing fraternity alluded to in our last issue, we learn that several publishing houses of Boston have sent in the compliments of the season to the Boston Press Club, accompanied by valuable lists of standard books and some of the latest works. From Estes & Lauriat were received a handsome set of Dickens' works; Lee & Shepard sent seventeen miscellaneous volumes, and Houghton, Mifflin & Company a fine set of Thack

eray.

THE HOSPITAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AssoCIATION of New York City again appeals to the charity of the various trades, and, we trust, not in vain. Every one is now well acquainted with the noble work this Association is engaged in, and we will therefore content ourselves with this re

minder. Contributions will be received by Mr. Henry B. Barnes, III William St., Treasurer of the Auxiliary for the Book and Publishing Trade of the Association, or may be sent directly to the Association office at 79 Fourth Avenue, N. Y.

THE Senate Committee on Patents will have a

his human and individual form. If he is to cease to be human and become a corporation, which by virtue of its corporate quality is soulless, Heaven help the author.

Or, if not Heaven, let Providence, in the shape of the Incorporated Society of Authors, help him. That Society has already done something to mitigate his miseries; something, but perhaps not very much. Mr. Besant, who is chairman of its Executive Committee, says that "up to the present moment the Society has confined itself to urging upon authors to take as much care of literary as of any other property, and to recommending certain common precautions-such as the auditing of accounts, etc." When Mr. Besant says "common" precautions, he really means uncommon. It is because authors have not succeeded-often, no doubt, have not tried to-in getting sight of publishers' accounts, audited or unaudited, that the profits in books have been divided in such singular proportions. The name of the author who has been bold enough to ask not only that full accounts should be rendered, but that they should be submitted to the examination of an independent auditor, has not yet been disclosed to an expectant but still incredulous public.

Otherwise, too, than in matters of mere money are the ways of some publishers-English publishers-past finding out, or, when found out, difficult to make straight. Mr. Gilbert's recent unpleasantness with Messrs. Boosey & Co. is an instance in point. Long years ago Mr. Gilbert, then litte known, translated and adapted for this firm, which issues music and musical books, Offenbach's opera, "Les Brigands." His version was lately put upon the stage, but in an altered and interpolated form. As they retained Mr. Gilbert's name, he protested, and as protests availed not, he went to law, which also availed not. He asked for an injunction to restrain Messrs. Boosey from inserting in a "book," which bore Mr. Gilbert's name on the title page, certain songs and dialogues which were not his, but invented by an ex-music-hall singer. The injunction was refused. Mr. Gilbert appealed, and it was refused again. “In common honesty," he pathetically but vainly pleads, "I think I am entitled to ask that I shall not be made to shine with the lustre of another man's intellect." And he then states his case against the Court of Appeal in a manner at once so Gilbertain and so conclusive that it is a pity to abridge it, and I

NOTES ON ENGLISH PUBLISHERS.

G. W. Smalley in the Tribune. SOME of the leading publishers are turning themselves into companies: Messrs. Routledge, for example; though the partners keep all the shares, amounting to a million of dollars, in their own hands; leaving the public to subscribe, if they like, for something less than half that sum in debentures. Messrs. Kegan Paul & Co., Messrs. Trübner & Co., and Messrs. George Redway & Co. propose to amalgamate into one limited liability company, with a joint share capital of half a million dollars, and half as much debenture capital. It may be hoped that these examples are not going to be generally followed. The author and the public have had a pretty hard time of it in their dealings with the publisher in

"If a grocer buys a tin of Colman's mustard, and having adulterated it with a mustard that is not Colman's, nevertheless sells it across the counter as Colman s, the Majesty of the Law is outraged, and the thunderbolts of the Courts of Chancery are not invoked in vain. This is a situation which the Courts of Chancery can grasp— it appeals to them as a mercantile outrage concerning which there can be no two opinions. The Courts of Chancery have invariably shown themselves hopelessly unable to apply this simple principle to works written for the stage."

Mr. Gilbert's publishers have nothing better to urge in reply than that they offered to say on the play-bill or title-page, or both, that the text was not entirely from Mr. Gilbert's pen. Everybody can form his own opinion as to the adequacy of that defence. But the publishers have the law on their side; what more could they ask? Public opinion is not a matter about which they show themselves over-anxious.

A BOHEMIAN named Franz Hedrich turns up at this late day with a claim that he wrote all the charming poems and novels of the late Alfred Meissner. It is improbable that there is anything in this claim.

THE RUSKIN BIBLIOGRAPHY. JOHN WILEY & SONS have just issued the first two issues of "A Bibliography of the Writings Sawyer, and she was the original Mary who in Prose and Verse of John Ruskin, LL.D.," edited by Thomas J. Wise. The work is to be issued in four parts, divided into twelve divisions as follows: Pt. I. Editiones, principes, etc.Division A, Lesser works (that is volumes of lesser bulk not minor importance) arranged in chronological order; B, Bibliography of "Modern Painters: " C, Bibliography of "The Stones of Venice;" D, Works edited or prefaced by Ruskin; E, Summary of Collected Works. Pt. II. First appearances of separate pieces, being Ruskin's contributions to periodical literature, etc.-A, Poems; B, Letters to the press; C, Essays, reviews, magazine articles, etc.; D, Selections. Pt. III. Ruskiniana.-A, Complete volumes of biography and criticism; B, Reviews, criticisms, and other minor Ruskiniana; C, Published portraits of Ruskin. Pt. IV. American reprints and "pirated editions."-There will also be an Appendix consisting of list of lectures, particulars of the Ruskin Societies, chronological synopsis, and details of any work which may be issued during the passage of the Bibliography through the press, and a General Index.

The editor thus far gives most minute information concerning the publication of the various first editions-how bound, the original publisher's price, whether still in print, the difference between successive editions of the same book, and brief historical notes when necessary. When completed it will no doubt be the most complete as it certainly will be the most important contribution to the subject ever undertaken or published. The work is gotten up in sumptuous shape with extra large margin, the page measuring 95% x 12 inches, the type page 35% x 6%

inches.

OBITUARY NOTES.

WILLIAM L. BERRY, for twenty-five years a leading bookseller in Detroit, Mich., died at his residence on Lincoln Avenue, December 21, after an illness of forty-eight hours, of pneumonia. Mr. Berry has lived in Detroit for a quarter of a century. He was for many years connected with W. E. Tunis and Tunis & Parker, and during the last six years with John MacFarlane. He was universally loved and respected, not only in the trade, but by all who had the pleasure and privilege of knowing him. His genial manner to all, and his strong personality impressed itself upon all with whom he came in contact. Mr. Berry leaves a widow who has the sympathy of a large circle of friends in her sudden bereavement.

LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES.

MR. JOHN H. BLACK and wife sailed Saturday, December 28, via the Servia for an extended pleasure trip.

THE Fifth Annual Banquet of the Brotherhood of Commercial Travellers will be held at the Hotel Marlborough, Broadway and 36th St., on the evening of the 30th inst., at 8 P.M.

THE new Cameo Edition of Ik Marvel's "Dream Life" and "Reveries of a Bachelor" has sold so well that a second edition of 3000 sets has been printed. And still there are some who say it doesn't pay to make good books.

FIRE broke out in the Everett Building, corner of Ann and Nassau Streets, New York City, on the evening of the 27th, and did considerable damage to the stock of books in Thomas E. Keane's store. Joseph Sabin, who has an office in the building, also had his stock of books, etc., damaged by water.

C. KLACKNER, 5 E. 17th St., N. Y., in connection with a wood-engraving by Miss C. A. Powell of John La Farge's masterpiece," The Resurrection," in St. Thomas' Church, N. Y., has issued a neat little explanatory pamphlet on the subject. The engraving itself is a masterful specimen of wood-cutting, 10 x 12 inches, limited to an edition of 150 copies.

ONE of the heaviest failures of the year that the paper trade has experienced is that of the old firm of J. Q. Preble & Co., manufacturers of blank books and stationery, 10 and 12 Thomas St., New York. The embarrassment of this con

cern involves a number of firms all over the country and it will probably be a week or two before the exact state of affairs will be given to the public.

"MR. BRYCE'S 'American Commonwealth' is out of print in England," writes Mr. Smalley to the N. Y. Tribune. The first edition in its three octavo volumes was of 1500 copies, and is destined to become moderately scarce, for it is not likely to be reprinted in its complete form. Messrs. Macmillan are just bringing out a new and cheaper edition in two volumes, with the dangerous chapter by Mr. Goodnow omitted, or, at least, not fully reprinted. Mr. Oakey Hall has chosen to bring his action for libel against Mr. Bryce and not against the publishers, but no firm would wish to reprint an alleged libel while

an action was pending; nor would Mr. Bryce himself care to."

HENRY FROWDE of the Oxford University Press has this year produced a most remarkable novelty in "The Finger Prayer-Book," the name being derived from its diminutive proportions. It is I inch broad, 31⁄2 inches long, and of an inch in thickness. Into this incredibly small space is compressed the entire unabridged prayer-book, including calendar and occasional services. The excellent qualities of the Oxford India paper make the brilliantly printed diamond type a triumph of typographic skill. The binding is almost a greater feat. To fold evenly such tiny pages, to sew and finish these perfectly bound little books must have needed an almost fairylike delicacy of touch. This little gem is issued in a variety of bindings, morocco, russia, calf, velvet, etc.. all finished with the perfection of Oxford books.

MR. THOMAS G. SHEARMAN, of Brooklyn, N.Y., desiring to encourage the efforts of College and University students, and others, in economic studies, has offered through the American Eco nomic Association, Baltimore, Md., the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars for the best essay on the subject of State and Local Taxation of Personal Property in the United States. Competitors will be expected to discuss the following points: Should personal property be taxed at all? Should some kinds of personal property be taxed and other kinds exempted from taxation? The relation of personal property taxes, if any exist, to other taxes in a rational system of taxation. The changes in our laws needed to establish a better system of taxation. The essay must not exceed 25,000 words, and must be in the hands of the Secretary of the Association not later than December 1, 1890. Each paper must be typewritten, signed by a fictitious name, and accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the name assumed as well as the address of the author. The Association has thus far offered prizes for essays on the subjects of Immigration, Child Labor, and Women Wage-Earners; and in view of past experience it is believed that the establishment of this prize on Taxation will prove beneficial also. It is not meant to confine the competition to college and university students.

AT the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Booksellers' and Stationers' Provident Association the following resolutions of condolence with J. F. Vogelius, on the death of his wife, were adopted:

WHEREAS, We, the members of the Board of Trustees of the Booksellers' and Stationers' Provident Association of the United States, have heard with regret of the death of the wife of our fellow-member, Joseph F. Vogelius, be it therefore

Resolved, That we tender to our friend and brother, in this sad hour of trial and bereavement, our deep and loyal symyathy-the sympathy of hearts that know the warmth, the generosity and tenderness of his, and have felt its benign influence.

Resolved, That while we join with him in the unutterable sorrow of a loss which deprives our friend of the joy and solace of wifely companionship and ministrations, we bid him be comforted by the divine promise of the soul's immortality, through which he may feel the inspiring certainty that beyond the veil of tears and mystery, on the limitless and radiant shores of eternal life, the fond wife, with undiminished affection, is waiting to welcome her beloved one to the kingdom of pure, unalloyed joy, and union without end.
